His criticisms are spot on. Seems like so many of the modern ski movies are all about being "X-TREEEEEME." I also want to know the backgrounds, the locations, and the stories associated. I hope today's ski film makers watched this interview!

It not only applies to the films and segments, but also IMO to competition these days as well. The mantra in freestyle today is "progression". And it seems to me at least that this has come a bit at the expense of the "style" part of freestyle. I would rather see someone style out a huge 540 than watch a triple cork 1800 or whatever the latest progression is. The slower rotation just looks a lot nicer. But maybe that says more about me getting old 🙂

Dollar for Dollar, Maltese Flamingo is hands down one of the most entertaining films ever made. Wore out my VHS of it and would kill for a DVD of it. Wheel of Destruction indeed....

He has a valid point. Ski films were more of an art and took the time to really examine the sport than they do today. In this day and age the attention span is so short, most people are bored with the film half-way through it. I must admit that the athletes are doing some amazing things, but the production and craft in film making is really lacking. Someday, people will get sick of this forum that is popular today.

...the state of an industry that has become refined to the point of stagnation. Granted, I'm not as aware of ski videos as I am popular music, which is why I asked for some recommendations on your part (it seems you were only able to offer one...). Regarding subjectivity: some things are subjective, some are not. The mode of operations on the part of the corporations that own record labels is not a subjective matter.

As a professional musician and someone who has researched popular music at a post-graduate level (and taught the subject at a graduate level) I can attest to the depth of much of the pop music that has been produced. If you'd like some references to help broaden your scope of knowledge, I would be pleased to forward you some titles. As far as complaining about "this generation's music or films" is concerned, it has nothing to do with any generation - young versus old. It has to do with...

Plake is right! he way I see it there is "Filmmakers" and "Skifilmmakers" Any good Filmmaker could make a good skifilm but today the industry is governed by "Skifilmmakers" with little or no touch. Andrew Kidman could probably make a kickass skifilm. And I bet Herzog could do it to if he wanted to, because they are good at making just that; Films. Telling the story is what it's all about, if you are a filmmaker!

Actually, my dad never complained about the music I listened to as a teenager! But since you've mentioned music, I will say that the newer ski films I've seen are much like so much of today's pop music - generic, with little imagination or "soul" evident. A large part of it is due simply to the current social and economic climate, which affords little leeway for imaginative products that don't conform to the mold. If you have some particular recommendations regarding ski films, I'm all ears.

No the bulk of all creation is minute variations from one steady state. there is good music being made but now ai is making most music into the same drab thing we just accept as good music now.... little artistic input needed and less technical proficiency for sure.

I have no interest in watching the newer breed of ski films. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of soul put into them and that, for me, is a big part of what made Stump's films so unique and wonderful: a whole lot of soul (and one hell of an imagination!)

Pop music never had any "soul", huh? It seems that your understanding of the term "pop music" is limited (and based on misinformation). Certainly, if you think that "pop music" is "meant to be" nothing more than "fluff enjoyed by adolescents that are too young to have much soul", then you are wrong on two counts. Too young to have much soul? I feel sorry for you - I had soul when I was three years old and reacting very strongly to music on an emotional level. Continued...

Using an absolute term such as "never" is foolish - especially if you don't know someone. You end your little sermon with "I know I'm not" as if that demonstrates some humbleness on your part. Please. You've already indicated a degree of arrogance with your earlier generalisations and now this. Your presumptions about what I might think are of no consequence to me, but here's a tip: don't be too quick to categorise people based on a very limited text exchange - you'll look a lot smarter.
